I completely disagree. Her bumping is awful. I think she "gets it" and knows HOW to work, but she just hasn't picked up the Rick Rude up-and-down feeding bumps yet. Watching her take moves from AJ and Paige is/was so awkward, because she seems to take forever to fall to the mat.

She tries hard, though, and is a very good heel in other areas. That's just a killer-important area in my eyes.

When I can really step back and look at a match... I still find it amazing that these beautiful women really go out there and take bumps. Think of the hot chicks you know in life and just how incredibly un-involved they may be in most activities. Then you have Brie Bella taking a bump off the apron to the floor for no real reason.

Trish would be the first exception. No-one thought she was going to be anything upon winning the belt. But other ladies followed suit. Candace Michelle became pretty damn good in the ring right before she decided to end her run. Of course, Marise couldn't do a whole lot, but she was an AMAZING heel in the very short time she had a chance.

I'm really sick of hearing about Mumia Abu-Jamal. I'm not on either side of the fence in regards to it, mostly because while I do have a few friends in the police force, I do know that cops can be corrupt.

I'm just sick and tired and tired of hearing about people getting their panties in a bunch every time the news reports on one of his bowel movements. He's in jail, get over it.

Based off of NXT last night, looks like they're positioning Itami to carry the brand when Owens, Zayn, and Balor leave. I'm guessing the TV core will be something like Itami, Breeze, Crowe, Joe, Uhaa, Corbin.

Which...is sort of the opposite of Beast Mode. presumably, Marshawn Lynch has two modes (Like a Transformer, or those wonderful M.A.S.K toys). Regular Mode and Beast Mode. Wouldn't Brie Mode just be Brie?

>Brock restored his own aura by doing crazy stuff like throwing couches at the Miz, not beating Undertaker.

No, Brock's aura was cemented when he became the guy to do something no one had ever done. The Streak had become the biggest ticket in the WWE and he was the guy who ended it, clean in the ring. That made him look like a God and helped launch him to Summerslam.

> The Undertaker match itself was nothing special and Brock hardly looked like a dominant killer, with everyone just remembering the ending.

Missing the point. No one needs to remember the match. Brock absolutely looked like a dominant killer. He survived everything Undertaker gave him and beat him at his own game. I don't think you get how built up The Streak was and what ending it meant.

>Cena-Rock 2 was nothing the world wanted to see

Disagree with this, a lot. I know a lot of people smarter fans didn't want to see the match, but Cena v. Rock is still a big drawing match and Cena had to get his hand raised in the end. I do think they should've done Cena v. Rock and Punk v. Taker, streak v. title.

For a match that was "nothing the world wanted to see," 29 still did over 1 million buys.

I guess? Is that limited to those games where you take turns hitting each other in fights? Technically it's a farming simulator but it's way more fun than that would suggest with the social aspects of the whole town. You get sucked into it pretty quick.

I'm keen to the idea of introducing Owens as Bray Wyatt's muscle for an IC title feud or something, only Owens actually doesn't give a fuck about Bray at all, was just using him to get his foot in the door, and then he turns on him fairly quickly.

What I did in TEW was introduce Zayn around Royal Rumble time, had him beat Bray for the IC title at WrestleMania, and then Bray talks about some vague "guy" coming in to destroy Sami for him. So Owens debuts at Extreme Rules, kicks Sami's ass, destroys some jobbers, and then when Bray's cutting one of his goofy promos, Ownes just drops him with a powerbomb and then beats Zayn for the title at the May PPV.

I'm not surprised the Kings are faltering. They've played a lot of hockey in the past few years, going far in the playoffs if not winning it and the Stanley Cup Playoffs are fucking grueling. And pretty much all their core players played in the Olympics, too. That's a lot of hockey and missing out might be best for them.

From there I stretched it out to SummerSlam, where Zayn faced Owens in a match where if he lost, he could no longer challenge Kevin for the title. Sami fights hard, but Owens wins with some slight shenanigans. Enter El Generico.

It just seemed DUMB. Neither guy looked like he had ever wrestled a match before in that train wreck. Not to mention, even though he won, he was super lukewarm going in--I figured he'd lose in one or two more matches because that's what Lesnar had been doing for 2 years.

In SvR '06 one storyline specifically ends with Undertaker chokeslamming Eddie Guerrero in a casket (somethign where he steals the urn and pins it on your player). The game came out 2 days before he died.

There should be some wrestling rule book, the worse the gimmick, the more they at least try to let you get over in the ring. Meanwhile these poor goofs have a lousy gimmick and short, choppy matches all the time
